Study in Germany

Germany includes 16 constituent states and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. Germany is the most populous member state of the European Union. After the United States, it is the second most popular immigration destination in the world. It has the world's fourth-largest economy by nominal GDP, as well as the fifth-largest by PPP. Winters can be very cold and summers very warm, and longer dry periods can occur. Up to the year 2006 there was no tuition fee in Germany for any study programmes of any kind in all state maintained universities, but from the year 2007 all the students would have to pay a tuition fee of Euro 500/semester or Euro 1000/year. But still it is a little fee if you compare it with UK, Denmark or Netherlands where a yearly tuition fee is about Euro 8000 to Euro 15000 is charged. The living expenses, which come around 10 lacs PKR (around Euro 10,000) for entire 2 years of study in Germany, can be sustained easily by doing some part time job. Germany currently has more than 300 institutions of higher education that include 82 universities, 132 such institutions that offer shorter and practically oriented courses, and other institutions. Germany has a high turnout of foreign students as it offers a high range of study possibilities.
